'Azalea lace bug' is the common name for 'Stephanitis pyrioides'. It's the most common problem for azaleas. The pest starts sucking the sap out of azalea leaves in May.

One calling card the bug leaves is a white or yellow and green speckled surface. Another, more unique indication is hard, shiny black excrement on the undersides of leaves.

May is the time to begin treatment, every three weeks, until lace bug numbers are controlled. Particularly effective is a pesticide that has the active ingredient of acephate or carbaryl. It's important to coat the leaf undersides thoroughly.
